About Stag Theatre Company
The Stag Theatre Company started life as the in-house amateur group at the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks (alongside but separate from StagTech which professionally showcased the theatre's technical facilities in their productions).
Originally, membership took the form of a "Pool of Talent" with entry by audition in front of a panel of 3 people.
The productions were both musicals and drama and went under the banner of Stag Theatre productions.
When there was a change of management and the theatre became Sevenoaks Playhouse the amateur group was told that they could no longer be in-house.
We therefore resolved to continue on our own and to call ourselves Stag Theatre Company.
We had no funds at all as we had not needed them before since everything was provided for us
by the theatre.
We were given the opportunity to do one production at the theatre rent-free to try and make some money - this final rent-free show was an excellent production of Habeas Corpus.
Since then we have done musicals, plays, revues, murder mysteries and fund raising events and built up modest reserves to enable us to continue.
